Mama Garden was my family's cozy paradise in Bangkok complete with its own angel in the form of Auntie Mong. From day 1, she welcomed us, gave us a pack of maps and explained how to get around Bangkok from her place even though she was tired from her own flight home. Auntie Mong also made us lovely homemade Thai breakfast every single day even though our breakfast times often change last minute. She always asks how we were doing each day and what our plan was, giving her own local recommendations complete with notes on how to get there in Thai for taxi or tuk-tuk drivers. On our last day, we left at 6 AM and she still managed to make us breakfast to pack for the trip to the airport. She truly welcomed my family like we are hers too.
We stayed at both listings on her profile and both were immaculately clean when we arrived. There were also little touches like old typewriters and books that truly made it feel like home. Her garden is beautiful and is also a playground for her playful dog, Poon who doesn't bite at all. The listings are also very close to local street food and within walking distance of a great Thai massage parlor, Klongsan Plaza, and IconSiam. Overall, my family and I had great time at Auntie Mong's place and felt really welcomed by her generous hospitality.
